Has to be a way to adjust

I have a husqvarna push mower and the handle sits below my waist so I have to bend over a lot while I mow and it kills my back. It's at midthigh and I am 6' tall. I don't see a way to adjust it but it just seems crazy like this!

Not necessarily...

You should have two heights; take the handle apart and flip the bottom part over.

It's not the length of the handle as much as it is the angle. I just mowed and forgot to take a picture but the metal bracket near the mower part does not adjust and looks welded in place. It seems like that piece would swivel a little to adjust for taller people but it does not appear so.

Unfortunately, ergonomics never really caught on in the US. Industrial designers are still forced to design to percentiles and those of us taller or those of us shorter, so long as we can work something, do not get stuff designed for us but that is designed for a more common percentile of the population.

Garden equipment and tools are among the worst. At 6'2" I know exactly what you mean and do not get me talking about handles on things like snow shovels. My better half for many, many years was the closest thing to a tree-topper in her family stretching to a staggering 5'2". She also had small, proportionate hands. Nothing in the garden tool arena fit her either.

And you are right, it is usually not just the height on things like mowers, snowblowers, etc., it is those brackets that are welded and set the angle two low for us.

Most of these have three heights. both the top and bottom sections can be turned over and should have a small arch one way or the other. Make sure both have the arch facing up and should help. Also look at the bottom where it attaches to the deck and you may have multiple slots there.

You mean you can't take off the cotter pin and squeeze the handle inwards and flip it over?
